Salmon Ceviche

Inspired by Gordon Ramsay and a conversation about cooking with lemon juice, apparently it is called denaturing.

So it can be done. Following Gordon Ramsay's recipe i added a lime juice and instead of coriander i used dill which was awesome. It pretty much to taste so the proportions are not important =) Gordon's tip for slicing salmon by freezing it for 10 minutes really worked as well.

I think I could have stuck to the 10 minute time for soaking, but it was more 30-40 minutes but still the texture was chewy and soft at the same time. It was very interesting to see the salmon change colour as if it was actually cooking probably would have changed less if i kept to the time limit. mmmmm. i wonder.

Fast, yummy and interesting! a new winner.

So i used it to make a salad (a major weakness for me).
Rocket, little tiny tomatoes, crushed macadamia nuts, peach, nectarine, parmeasan cheese and the lemon dill salmon. Good times.
